Our travels With Tucker
Hello everyone,
Some may remember me from last year, just about this time. I was actually around quite a bit. Since then I've been able to read periodically but never post. (Not sure I can this time LOL) When I last posted it was about taking a kitty full time RVing (since my health required we immediately leave our home and state (Washington) or plan my funeral, as said my Drs! lol We took option number one, bought a 40 ' RV and off we went on the open road. My chief concerns about our then 2 year old Maine Coon, Tucker were mostly focused around him getting enough exercise. He sorta just laid around at first. He was lonely, to be sure. All his life he'd lived and loved with our daughter's kitty as well and she stayed home with her kitty! What I'd taken along to help with his daily exercise was his disc shooter, which shoots the entire length of the RV, and he loves leaping half way up the room to catch the discs LOL Another was his laser light, which he loves to chase. And lastly, his rabbit fur micies It took Tucker a few months to totally get into the swing of things, so to speak. But eventually he worked out his own exercise program, with the help of the toys and Mom and Dad, of course G One of his favorite games is for me to chase him the full length and back, over and over LOL He indicates it it time to begin the game when he flattens out on the floor and then looks both ways like he's actually looking at something and then up at me and racing headlong to the bedroom (at one end). It's then *my* turn LOL I just wanted to let everyone know that RVing full time with a cat is possible and a whole lot of fun! He's our baby and he loves being with us. On a strange note, we recently arrived back home and I brought daughter's kitty to the RV to visit and the once adoring friends could only hiss and arch their backs Sad, but life. If anyone has any questions about RVing with their kitties, holler! Hailey |

If anyone has any questions about RVing with their kitties, holler! I'm glad Tucker adjusted, and it sounds like you guys are having a great time! As for hissing at your daughters cat even though they used to be buds, I believe cats put a lot of opinion into smell and maybe Tucker just smells like "RV" and not Tucker. Or your daughters cat doesn't smell the same to Tucker, but with extended visits I'd imagine they'd get reactlimated again. Or, if you're on the road a lot, maybe you don't want to even put either of them under that stress only to separate them again. Any way, I hope you're feeling better! thanks Cheryl We decided the same, not to reunite them any more. It was stressful for both kitties and they have adjusted to being away from each other already,. I don't know what I was thinking anyway! Hailey Did you try "scent transfer"? MLB |
